Medical radiation exposures are increasing world-wide and especially in Japan, because of the progress in medical care. In order to keep the patients safe from medical exposure, we should know not only possible radiation injuries through the radiological interventions provided to the patients, but also the factors which increase or decrease medical exposure. In addition, we have to keep aware of the radiation dose level exposed to the patients, every time we use medical radiation to our patients. Continuing educations and guidelines on medical exposure and consciousness of the dose level are helpful in decreasing the patients' medical exposures, and in consequences, also in protecting ourselves from occupational exposures.
由于医疗保健的进步，全球范围内，尤其是在日本，医疗辐射暴露正在增加。为了保护患者免受医疗辐射，我们不仅应该了解通过为患者提供的放射学干预可能造成的辐射伤害，还应该了解增加或减少医疗辐射的因素。此外，每次我们对患者使用医疗辐射时，都必须留意患者所接受的辐射剂量水平。关于医疗辐射暴露的继续教育、指南以及对剂量水平的认识，有助于减少患者的医疗辐射暴露，从而也有助于保护我们自己免受职业暴露。
